So I went to study and then teach at the big Freiburg Festival for 13 times\, went nine times to the magical Ibiza Festival\, four times to share some work at the festival in Israel with it’s amazing CI community\, taught nine times at the festival in Goa\, five times in Koh Phangan\, in Bali\, Ladoga\, Crimea\, the USA\, Canada\, Turkey\, Japan and China\, at Earthdance and other Dance Hubs and these places often felt like a second home to me… each place and each community gave me more insights about my programming\, about how I was taught to see the world and gaining more and more awareness about this fact seems one of the greatest gifts to me. These places would not have had such a strong influence on me if I had not met so many inspiring and lovely humans on the way. Amongst the countless colleagues and dancers who left an imprint in my system\, there were a few artists\, which left me with significant information in terms of movement and the way to navigate through life. I would call them my masters in CI and often beyond.\nMy first CI teacher Prof. Dieter Heitkamp\, Martin Keogh\, Jess Curtis\, Keith Hennessy\, Scott Wells\, Nancy Stark Smith\, Chris Aiken\, Anjelika Doniy\, Ray Chung\, Nita Little\, Daniel Lepkoff\, Arye Burstyn\, but also the Finland CI Family\, the Ibiza Tribe\, the CI Communities in Goa\, Koh Phangan and Bali… \nIt was at the Ibiza Festival in 2010 when I got asked to teach a class for the first time at an international event.\nI had no idea that this would be the beginning of a career with would bring me great experiences and teaching gigs in 30 countries until today… I taught classes of 60 students at Dance Academies and Universities in China\, groups of psychologists and psycho therapists in China and Japan\, young actors at the National School of Drama in New Delhi and the Auroville Theater Company in India\, little kids in Tutus and „Golden Agers“ in their 70ties\, got the honour of a guest professorship at the University of Arts and Science in Sichuan\, China and was the main movement teacher at a Drama School in Munich for two years\, accompanying the young actors over their full education… recapturing all these places and experiences and sharing them here brings up a lot of wonderful memories. \nMy resident place and regular teaching is still happening in Munich and I really enjoy contributing to the growth of the community here. Nowadays I live a bit outside the city so we can easily go and jump into the beautiful river Isar and go into the forest but I still have only a short drive to my classes and workshops in the city. In 2020 I married a Yoga teacher and Cranio Sacral therapist and we have two wonderful little kids. This brings a lot of beauty and depth into my life but also strenghtens the desire to settle and grow roots\, but how can I get my international friends over here so we can keep dancing and growing together with the local dancers?\nCreating a one month Intensive program in a comfortable seminar house of a community seems like an attractive way to get some great dancers here and have a good time together. 🙂 \nLet’s MEET in January and DO WHAT WE LOVE!\nLet’s DANCE\, CONNECT AND GROW TOGETHER!!! \nThank you for your curiousity and reading all this!\nI really appreciate it.\nI appreaciate you.\nBig hug\,\nUlli \n  \nAbout our hosts – the Nature Community\nWho we are  \nSurrounded by beautiful nature\, hills and forest\, near the Czech border\, about half  way between Munich and Prague\, lies our friendly\, welcoming and intentional “Nature  Community”. Founded in 2015\, by now some 45 adults and 25 + children explore ways  of living and co-creating their dream of an authentic\, peaceful and sustainable culture. We have created a wonderful location for workshops\, conventions\, festivals and events  that foster socio-cultural consciousness and political change. We love holding a safe  and trustable space for those transformative events. It is our intention for these deeply  human and intimate processes and pioneer work to be embedded in a strong field of  intentional community\, beyond our on-site neighborhood.  \nWhat we offer  \nTo those wanting to take an active part in the process of personal and collective transformational work and the creation of a new culture\, who are ready to take both  bold and daring\, as well as soft and gentle steps towards a future of trust and  cooperation…  \nWorkshop and seminar leaders\, event organizers\, midwives of a new era… You have embarked on a deep inner journey and gained knowledge\, healing power and medicine that wants to be shared for the good of the whole.  \nBesides being welcomed into our community during your stay with us and beyond\, we  offer a beautiful and magical location for the realization of your event. A place for dance and movement\, silence and meditation\, for rituals and celebrations\,  a place where we connect lovingly and mindfully with each other to recognize and  appreciate the beauty and power in us and in nature.  \nHere\, people can meet and exchange ideas\, learn in a concentrated manner or experience new things in a pleasant\, lively atmosphere.  \nIn the course of the past seven years we have built up a large community of organizers  and participants that for their part seem to have declared this place a sort of second  home and have been coming again and again to the inspiring events that have been  taking place and evolving over the time. \nWhat the location offers  \n• Our guest house offers comfortable accommodation in single\, double and dorm  rooms (as well as in two suites if required)  \n• 6 -7 different spaces / studios\, ranging from a small meditation chamber to a  large (380 sqm) hall with a beautiful hardwood floor\, ideal for large group  dances and jams  \n• a spacious wellness area (sauna\, hot tub\, and swimming pool)  and plenty of space for your needs  \n• comfortable dining room\, shared with the community  \n• We offer purely vegan organic food\, lovingly prepared by our kitchen crew • a beautiful open view from our restaurant terrace as well as the guest rooms \n • nature walks in quiet and peaceful surroundings  \nWhy we want you here this Winter\n \nWhile summer is brimming with events and activities around the property\, come winter we slow down and go inward\, integrate\, take in stillness\, breathe out…Still our  location has a lot to offer and we would love to see it filled with live and open it up to  in-depth explorations and deep community experience also to those who do not constantly live here with us.  \nWhile during summer quick changeover takes place and we have a LOT of coming and  going\, winter requires a slower and more grounded pace. That’s why we offered our space to Ulli and this group to go deeper\, beyond the diverting festival mode  of summer and experience the juiciness of extended co-creation and collaboration on  their journey of growth and transformation.  \nWe are so happy to host this month-long intensive with Ulli that aligns with our dream of creating “the more beautiful world  that our hearts know is possible” as Charles Eisenstein so beautifully put it. \n  \nWhat´s next  \nIf you have any questions regarding the community or practical aspects of staying here with us\, get in touch   \nvia email: gwynn-parkinson@nature-community.de  \nor phone/whatsapp/telegram +49 1774817946  \nWe look forward to hearing from you !! \nGwynn and Franziska for the Community \nhttps://nature.community/ \n  \n<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \n  \nEinen ganzen Monat lang vertieftes Training/Fortbildung\nin Contact Improvisation mit Ulli Wittemann\nin der Nature Community\, Schönsee\, Bayern\, Deutschland\n20.

Und ja\, wir werden unsere Seele nähren\, die sich nach einer Umgebung von herzoffenen\, gleichgesinnten Menschen sehnt\, in der künstlerischer Ausdruck genauso wichtig ist wie frische Luft\, gesunde Nahrung und Sonnenlicht. \nWir werden mit dem Boden beginnen\, uns mit der Schwerkraft und unserem Atem verbinden und ein tiefes Zuhören als Basis für den Kontakt von Körper zu Körper einladen\, von der Floor Work am Boden bis zu den Schulterlifts. \nWir wollen us austauschen\, diskutieren und uns Videos ansehen\, ausgiebig im Studio arbeiten und die Natur als Landschaft nutzen\, um einzutauchen… uns zu verlieren und etwas Neues zu finden.
